'Ramayana: The Legend Of Prince Rama':

On January 24, "Ramayana: The Legend of Prince Rama" was released in India in 4K format, along with fresh dubs in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. The animated feature, which was originally set for release on October 18, 2024, but was postponed to make it available in a considerably larger number of theatres, is also distributed in the nation by AA Films and Excel Entertainment.

The directors of "Ramayana: The Legend of Prince Rama" are Koichi Sasaki, Ram Mohan, and Yugo Sako. In the previous Hindi rendition, the late Amrish Puri provided the voice of Raavan, Namrata Sawhney portrayed Sita, and Arun Govil, who appeared in "Ramayan," dubbed Ram. Shatrughan Sinha, a seasoned actor, narrated the story.

The new versions of the movie have been creatively adapted by screenwriter V Vijayendra Prasad, who is well-known for his work on the "Baahubali" franchise, "Bajrangi Bhaijaan," and "RRR."

Although it was shown at the 24th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in 1993, "Ramayana: The Legend of Prince Rama" was not distributed in theatres. When it was rerun on television stations in the early 2000s, it gained popularity among Indian viewers.
